The correct procedure for changing rules is to change the rules with effect of future issues. You don't change the rules with retrospective effect.

My game, my rules.

What next - Polish surnames such as wzzz?

Four letter words only. Change only one letter at a time and all letters must stay in the same order.

Therefore you are randomly accepting some words and rejecting others, according to your personal preference.
